Can you guys convince me to appreciate math?
It's so fucking boring, we get it, x + y = z^2
Where's the fun in solving puzzles all day when the rewards are so shitty
>>
>>7974811
The solution is it's own reward.
>>
>>7974814
Not if you don't give two shits in the first place
>>
>>7974811
> rewards are so shitty
> rewards are orgasms

Pick one.
>>
> solve this

x - 7 = 19 - x

add (x+7) to both sides

0 = 26

u wot m8?

> mfw anime illustrators were too busy fapping to actually do math

> mfw anime fucks up literally third-grade mathematics.
>>
>>7975069

no u!

x - 7 = 19 + x

add (x+7) to both sides

0 = 26 + 2x

x = -13

Why do we have to convince you to appreciate the math.

Simply don't and continue on studying your liberal arts degree and become poor by the age of 25.
>>
>>7975071
Are you retarded?
>>
>>7974811

> rewards are so shitty

you just have SHITTY TEACHERS

and probably a SHITTY TEXTBOOK

go find a textbook that's not bullshit, and ignore your wagecuck teacher. they're too stupid for you.

math is truth in its purest form...but that's not what you're taught. instead, you're taught bullshit "run the formula and get a gold star" math. no wonder you hate it.

Read "Godel, Escher, Bach" by Hofstadter and "Thinking Physics" by Epstein. Skip the boring parts, it's OK. Then you'll see what math can do.

Math + Econ --> Quantitative Finance. Few can do it, but if you're actually that good you can get really fucking rich.
>>
>>7975071
but dude if you add x to both sides, both sides end up being x^2.

im just a lowly chemE but even i have more appreciation for math than that
>>
>>7975087

yes. how can i not be retarded?
>>
>>7975094

eh??

look ahead to...

financial modeling

What the actual fuck is wrong with you people
>>
>>7974811

x - 7 = 19 + x
19 + x - x + 7 = 0
26 = 0

lel wat

>>7975071

(-13) - 7 = 19 + (-13)?
-20 = 6?
>>
>>7975121

i shit in grocery bags?
>>
>>7975094
>both sides end up being x^2.
nigger we're not multiplying x by itself
>>
Maybe I'm just another one of the retards in this thread (Chem E major) but the answer can't be found because x - 7 and x + 19 are not equal, that's like saying -7 = 19
>>
>>7975174
That is the joke. It says, "You should be able to solve it." but in fact, you cannot solve it. Hence why it is an epic motivational poster meme.
>>
>>7975174
>>7975192

Except you can solve it you fuckers, it's called assume that the solution x exists, do the basic algebra, find the contradiction, use that contradiction to prove that any solution x cannot exist.
>>
>>7975271
26 = 0 you idiot
>>
>>7975132
x=root(169)=+/-13
r(169)-7=19+r(169)
+13-7=19-13
6=6
>>
maybe they are not working in the integers, but in some ring (with unit), and need an upper bound on the additive order of 1.

Lmao you guys can't be serious

X - 7 = 19 + x
X = 26 + x
X = x(26/x + 1)
1 = 26/x + 1
Evident that x is infinity fambruhs

Do you think this world is shit?
Does the idea of living and dying on the earth make you want to die anyway?
Do you want to find out more?

Then learn math today!

And maybe, just maybe, you could escape our dimension!

Offers starting off at...oh wait, knowledge is free.

In all seriousness, there can be a mathematical formula for everything; everything can be narrowed down to a bunch of symbols...If you give your all to learn it then you'll find yourself laughing along with the very few others who have and still do give their all.
>>
>>7975604
What the fuck is this?
>>
>>7975087

Why is

x - 7 = 19 - x

Add 7 to both sides

x = 26 - x

Add x to both sides

2x = 26

Divide both sides by two

x = 14

Wrong? I'm not trolling, genuinely interested. I'm still doing pre-calc.
>>

>2x = 26

>Wrong?
Where to begin? Hint: 13 != 14

>I'm not trolling, genuinely interested. I'm still doing pre-calc.
Have you considered doing pre-pre-calc first?
>>
>>7975678
You wrote the problem wrong
>>
>>7975685

I meant 13, not 14.

The 4 is right next to the 3 and the keys on a phone keyboard are small.

Calm down.
>>
>>7974811
>x + y = z^2
What kind of equation is that, there is nothing to solve x,y can literally be any real number
>>
>>7974811
take physics or chemistry, OP
>>
>>7975091
>math is truth
You can't even define truth in math.
>>
>>7975702
Maybe its a diophantes equation.
A really easy one

>>7975707
Maybe, I can see it as an introduction to diophantes
>>
>>7975692

x - 7 = 19 - x

This was the original problem posted in this thread. One anon re-wrote it with 19 + x instead of 19 - x

This is the original post
>>7975069
>>
>>7974811
[math]x-7=19+x[/math]
[math] x= 26+x [/math]
[math]\infty = 26+\infty [/math]

[math]x=\infty[/math]

Ahh I was looking at OPs pic. That person is trolling or an idiot.

Autists won't admit it but they pretty much all do it for asspats from their superiors.

When you get deeper into physics,the only way to understand some laws, or how something works is only through math. That's when you'll first start appreciating math.

Nothing can be equal to infinity, it can only have tendency to approach infinity.

x must have two values.
x={R, R±26}
